Does Parkinsons Cause Muscle Loss And Pain?
My husband is going down hill fast...Muscles are disappearing...and he has severe hip and leg pain. He does not stand errect, and does not swing his arms, and neuro dr. says he is 80% sure it is parkensins. I have had relation who have had that and do not remember muscle loss and pain in him. What is your opinion? could it be myasthenia gravis?

Hi , It appears that your husband is suffering from Parkinson disease because of not able to stand erect and not swinging the arms while walking.
Severe leg and hip pains and muscle loss are not related to this and need further investigations .Thanks
